Inis Oírr One-Day Island Retreat – Reset & Recharge on the Aran Islands
Step away from the everyday and recharge on the Aran Islands. Let the Wild Atlantic Way air work its magic on this culturally rich island wellness experience.
This one-day retreat on Inis Oírr (Inisheer) Aran Islands invites you to slow down. Surrounded by sea air and ancient limestone walls, you’ll experience a nourishing blend of yoga, meditation, mindful walking, sauna, and optional sea swims, all guided by the gentle rhythm of island life. Our bilingual local guide brings the island’s culture to life, through sharing stories, place names, and the Irish language that encourages you to connect deeply to Inis Oírr’s cultural richness and island life.
This retreat is designed for anyone feeling stretched thin or in need of a reset – a space to unwind, move gently, and create a sense of inner balance. The combinations of elements; air, earth, water and fire supports our bodies to reset and come back to its natural rhythm.
Your Aran Island Day Retreat
Your Island escape begins with a warm island welcome as you step off the ferry. From there, you’ll set out on a guided coastal walk, practise some simple mindfulness as you move and hear about the island’s history including local place names and insights into island life.
Next, settle into a yoga and meditation session in the tranquil lakeside setting – the perfect chance to restore balance and quiet the mind.
Over a delicious lunch, you’ll have time to relax and connect before finishing the day with a beachside sauna and an optional refreshing dip in the Atlantic – the ultimate reset for body and mind.
